I had the exact same problem. FIrst of all, check to see that you have X11 installed. It should be in /Applicantions/Utilities. If you do not have X11 installed, then get out your Mac OS X install DVD and install ALL of the devtools. (Also come in hand if you ever decide to compile it yourself). If you have lost the DVD, then you can download them (1GB) from the apple website here: http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html. (requires a free Apple Develeoper Connection Account) Now try to open Warzone. It should always take a while the first time you start it, but if it just bounces and then quits, you probably have another problem.

If the previous steps have not solved your problem, open Terminal (/Applicantions/Utilities/Terminal.app). Switch back to the FInder and go to wherever you have Warzone saved to. Right (or control) click on Warzone and select "Show Package Contents". Once you have done that, go to "Contents" then "MacOS" and drag the file "Warzone" into the Terminal window.

So I noticed I had a leopard install disk, but only 10.4 tiger installed, decided to give 2.1 a try over 2.0.10.

Installed leopard, reinstalled X11 from the leopard cd.

I went to run 2.1, and up comes the game, with a blank menu, no text at all.

I can click where menu items used to be (at one point I got a flag color selector to pop up, and some bars with the slider like - O +)
I think I click something that should start the game, and it crashes.

I did the drag and drop into terminal as described on this thread, and got the following:

error : [iV_initializeGLC] iV_initializeGLC: Failed to select font family Lucida Grande as regular font
error : [iV_initializeGLC] iV_initializeGLC: Failed to select font family Lucida Grande for the bold font
error : [rebuildSearchPath] Failed to remove path /data/ again, because of No such entry in search path
error : [rebuildSearchPath] Failed to remove path /share/warzone2100/ again, because of No such entry in search path
Floating point exception

this was after the game screen popped up, i clicked until i get a loading bar, black screen, I click when the black screen comes up, and then it crashes to desktop

Strange, it should really be able to find it as a font. I believe Per made it possible to change the font used by Warzone by manually editing the config file. Please take a look at the associated documentation for specific instructions on how to do this.
